Catts Green Farm
CATTS GREEN FARM: Private airstrip
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: Just SE of Cripps Corner, about 3.5nm NE of Battle and about 3.5nm SE of Robertsbridge
Period of operation: 1990s (?) to -
Runway: 580 grass. This has a bit of a bend in it, the northern 'half' being about 355 metres, 03/21, the southern 'half' being about 225 metres, 02/20.
Note: Although as a general rule runways tend to be in a straight line, some aren't. I well remember flying over an airfield in Germany which had a far more pronounced bend. And of course, this is not at all a problem with light aircraft and gliders.
NOTES: Initial info source AAIB report EW/C97/9/4.
Sometimes referred to as GATTS GREEN FARM, which took a bit of sorting out. If anybody can kindly offer more advice, this will be most welcome.
Perhaps a tad oddly, there does not seem to be any evidence of a hangar here. Despite it being a 'well proportioned' airstrip.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
